About the Report
How is the GMT Benchmark Report created?
The GMT Benchmark Report is rooted in feedback from real shippers challenged by many of the market’s biggest and most complex problems. Our report begins with an annual survey conducted by Cleveland Research Company, who helps us hone and refine the questions (and answers) that will matter most to shipper’s today, while also helping to identify the right target audience to take the survey.
Who takes the survey?
To ensure an equitable but insightful industry viewpoint, we target shippers serving both consumer (often in the form of retail) and industrial markets, operating from a variety of network strategies and transportation modes. In 2022, 60% of our respondents were retailers or distributors, e-commerce sales represented 29% of average sales, and 85% of respondents had a transportation spend of $50 million or more.
